Hadith 52

said, ‘I will neither ratify you all nor will I say (believe) in your doctrine until your Master-ajfj comes’ – meaning Al-Mahdi-ajfj – ‘and he-ajfj cures me from this illness’. And this word was repeated from him. While we were gathered at the time of Al-Isha the last (Salat), when our father shouted and cried out for help with us. We came to him hurriedly. He said, ‘Catch up with your Master-ajfj for he-ajfj just now gone out from my presence! ’ We went out, but we could not see anyone. So we returned to him and asked him. He said, ‘A person entered to see me and said: ‘O Atwah! ’ I said, ‘Who are you? ’ He-ajfj said: ‘I-ajfj am the Master-ajfj of your son! I-ajfj have come to cure you from what is with you’. Then he-ajfj extended his-ajfj hand and squeezed my wrist, and he-ajfj walked away, and I spread out my hand. I could not see any trace of it’. His son said to me, ‘And he remained like a deer having no heart, and this story became famous, and I asked another son of his about it. He informed about it and acknowledged with it’’. [65]
Note: I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Al Mufeed and Al Shaheed, and compiler of ‘Al Mazar Al Kabeer’, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on them, in their ‘Performance of visitations’, by their chains from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahman Al Tastary who said, ‘Ay Rawasy passed by me. One of my brothers said to me, ‘If you could come with us to Masjid Sa’sa, so we can pray Salat in it, for this is (month of) Rajab and performance of visitation is recommended during it in this noble place which the friends (of Allah-azwj) have trodden upon by their fee, and they had prayed in it, and Masjid Sa’sa is from these’. He said, ‘I went with him to the Masjid, and there was a she-camel reined for departure, having been knelt at the door of the Masjid. We entered and there was a man having the clothes of Al Hijaz upon him-ajfj and having turbaned like their turbans. He-ajfj was seated supplication with this supplication. I and my companions memorised it. Then he-ajfj performed a prolonged Sajdah and stood up and rode the riding animal and went away. My companion said to me, ‘Do you see him-ajfj as being Al Khizr-as? What is the matter with us not speaking to him-ajfj? It is as if our tongues are being withheld! ’ We went out and met Ibn Abu Rawad Al-Rawasy. He said, ‘Where are you two coming from? ’ We said, ‘From Masjid Sa’sa’, and we informed him with the news. He said, ‘This rider has been coming to Masjid Sa’sa in the two days or three. He-ajfj does not speak. We said, ‘Who is he-ajfj? ’ He said, ‘Whom do you view him-ajfj as being? ’ We said, ‘We think he-ajfj is Al Khizr-as’. He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I do not view him-ajfj except as the one Al-Khizr-as is needy to see him-ajfj, so leave rightly guided! ’ My companion said to me, ‘By Allah-azwj! He-ajfj is Master-ajfj of the Time’’.
